Why bi guys aren’t for me
By Nick Burns
I refuse to date bisexual men. That might sound strange coming from an out and proud gay guy—after all, if I expect other people to accept my sexuality, shouldn’t I be welcoming of theirs, too? The thing is, I am—but just […]

Fascinating story about Emile Griffth, a boxer, subject of the film Ring of Fire

The Shadow Boxer
Emile Griffith beat Benny (Kid) Paret to death in the ring after Paret called him queer. That was 43 years ago. He’s still struggling to come to grips with it. So are we
It was silent in the backseat of the car. The old boxer had just left the gay bar outside of which […]

Fascinating Sports Illustrated/ESPN study on homosexuality and sports

Here’s the feature article: Americans believe they have become more accepting — but have they?
The level of internal contradictions is amazing… 44% believe that homosexuality is a sin (48% don’t), and yet 61% believe that it is a way of life that should be accepted. That means at least 17% of the people responding both […]

the Counterpunch website, Peter Camejo wrote of a long list of concerns he
has over past decisions […]

UniLect Voting System decertified, declare unreliable and unsafe.

[These are exactly the types of failures that any experienced computer user (let alone an IT pro) could anticipate occuring.

Differing views of internal Green Party developments.

Long flame by Peter Camejo in Counterpunch. He explicitly refers to Ted Glick as a “hard core Cobb supporter”, and rants on in extended fashion about how the “Cobb current” is “pro-Democrat”.

Ten urgent questions for Greens, by Scott McLarty

Hi all
Judging from the exchange on this list over the
‘decline’ of the GP during 2004 (which was really
a year of growth for some states and for DC), I

wrong conclusions and lessons from last year’s
presidential campaign.
Both Cobb & Nader got a fraction of 1% of the
national vote in […]
